On October 16, 2026, Google outlined three new features in Gemini Notebook designed for studying notes and working documents (blog.google).
Three New Gemini Notebook Features
Short Video Overviews generate 60-second video summaries from uploaded files, while Interactive Learning Overview in the Reports section combines text explanations with slides, quizzes, and flashcards based on user materials (blog.google).
The third update introduces expanded quizzes featuring short answers, multiple-select questions, and fill-in-the-blank items, with an option to request feedback after completing quizzes or flashcards (blog.google).
Structuring Notes and Documents
These tools help organize lecture notes and project documentation inside a single workspace. Practical AI workflows for media production are examined in Как зарабатывают на YouTube с помощью AI-стека: Разбираем на детали, and local tools for protecting sensitive information when processing text with AI are covered in Nazarbayev University Unveils Qupia: AI for Personal Data Anonymization.
Feature Availability and Output Verification
Availability of the new study modes depends on the rollout stage for each Gemini Notebook account, and users should verify generated flashcards, quizzes, and summaries against their original source files.
